Alex Jones Urges Trump Impeachment Over Iran War, Citing 25th Amendment and Draft Fears

2 articles · Updated · The New Republic · Jul 29

Summary

  • Alex Jones on Tuesday demanded Congress pursue President Donald Trump’s impeachment or 25th Amendment removal, calling the Iran conflict an unauthorized war that is “absolutely out of control.”
  • Jones said Trump is preparing a national draft and a “massive ground invasion” of Iran, claims that strike at the “America First” wing’s opposition to another open-ended foreign war.
  • The break is notable because Jones had long backed Trump; he had already turned on him in April, asking “How do we 25th Amendment his ass?” after Trump’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight.”
  • The latest attack underscores a widening MAGA split over the 5-month-old Iran conflict, adding pressure on Trump from parts of the right that say the war betrays his anti-interventionist campaign message.
